I agree to look into modern programmable hearing aids. They often have music programs that expand the frequency range of the aid and remove filters. The Oticon aids I have do a great job in both normal life situations and listening to music.

Suresh Some great suggestions here, and I have no experience with hearing aids or equalizers. I however can recommend silver cables for increasing treble; either high purity silver, or silver plated. For me personally (since my hearing is not yet fading), they can be a bit much in the detail department....but I could definitely see them as beneficial for needing more emphasis with treble. Some cables I've tried (some of which I still own): LavriCables, DHLabs, and Zavfino. Those brands seem to offer a very cost effective entry point |
This Chase RLC-1 is perfect for a unit with no features. It gives you REMOTE Control of Volume, Balance, Treble, Bass, and has 4 selectable inputs. Chase RLC-1, MUST have the remote!
No controls on the unit, only buy one with the remote. No one can ever tell if it is in or out of my systems, I use them differently in 3 systems. 1. Main System: all sources to vintage feature-full tube preamp; preamp out to chase, chase to 1st input of my integrated amp. Select source manually on Preamp, use Chase for Remote Power/Volume/Balance. Preset Integrated Volume and Chase Default volume for my 'normal' volume, use chase for up/dn. 2. Office System: using chase for remote power only so I don't need to walk around my desk, sources direct to integrated, it's push button power button will stay in/on. 3. Shop/Garage system. all sources to Yamaha receiver. chase used for remote power, and optional use of it's features via tape loop (actually my Yamaha has a separate processor loop also). While working, remote volume and remote mute. Here again, you cannot tell if it is in or out of play. And, last but not least, the Chase unit has automatic and progressive implementation of Fletcher Munson Eq for low volume listening, which boosts both low bass and high treble progressively as volume reduces. This is good for anyone, perfect hearing, due to our hearing's characteristics. |
Thank you all for your suggestions - except maybe the one about the earcups. I've decided to try out one of the Schitt equalizers and see if that solves my problem. My question is, since I'm only interested in increasing the treble frequencies and not messing with anything else, should I go for the basic Loki Mini*, or is there any reason to get the more expensive Lokius? |
